Breaking Old Patterns and Behaviors

 

This past week, I was confronted with a very challenging situation that was a heavy dose of negativity—for days I was caught up in an uncomfortable drama that I, alone was causing. Instead of using my own knowledge and experience when difficult circumstances come— allowing them to flow through and then letting them go, I fixated on the problem, feeding it my frustration and anxiety until it became all consuming—an old pattern of behavior that was as easy as slipping into my favorite cozy pj’s.

Last night as I was counting my blessings, something I haven’t done this past week because I was so consumed, I asked for guidance. How do I maintain my peace, my gratitude, my bliss, in a World that is anything but? How do I interact with people, places, things and events that seemingly want to douse the Light I’ve tried so hard to become? The answer came to me this morning so clearly, an answer that should have been obvious, an answer to which Source always gently guides me—write. 

Write. It doesn’t matter for whom. Just write. Purge those negative feelings. Cast out the darkness and allow that beautiful golden Light to flood back into your vessel. Feel Source embracing your Being in this moment. Know that everything will be okay. You are the entire Universe. All of your troubles are imagined, none of it is real. The only Real is Love, Source, this eternal Now—I see all of the perfection in it and in doing so, my soul pushes up through the mud a little closer towards enlightenment. 

Every moment is an opportunity for expansion and growth. Don’t be a slave to your past behaviors, it truly does not serve you, only keeps you dark and stagnant. Be in the moment. Let the Light envelope your being and feel how abundantly loved you are. 

Be well.
